Kinda. It hasn't been upgraded, contains material that's factually wrong and it's an entry-level text that doesn't even source its illustrations, so the reader doesn't even have any way (other than dumb luck) to ever find what the original objects may look like.

half those weapons names couldn't be sourced even if they wanted to because of the uncategorized fuckstorm that was weapon production.

Also most of "factually wrong material" i've seen people complaining is just one of many expeculations about something

>half those weapons names couldn't be sourced even if they wanted to because of the uncategorized fuckstorm that was weapon production.

I mean sourced as in naming the institution that was holding the actual object at the time of writing or the book that contained the illustration they used as their source.

Well yeah, but a full panoply is going to cost an outrageous amount of money. Like, the entire livelihood of a hundred people type of outrageous amount of money. There's a reason the majority of bronze age infantry went into battle almost completely armorless. Bronze was pretty expensive even in it's heyday.

I wish i was in my old pc, one anon one time posted a pdf, one article about the price of bread on 323BCE Athens and the price of a bronze kilogram. You could feed something around 80 people for almost 20 years with 22kg of bronze, the wheight of one Caetra Panoply.

To be fair, his horse is going to be a lot larger and stronger than the two carrying that chariot around.
